🚨 A remarkable political scandal is unfolding inside the Islamic Republic. An influential hardline MP from Saeed Jalili’s anti-negotiation camp has gone on live state television and effectively accused Iran’s negotiators of disregarding Khamenei’s instructions during talks with the United States. According to Mahmoud Nabavian, the negotiations being pursued are “fundamentally different” from the conditions originally approved by Khamenei. Within hours: ⚪ State media announced legal action against Nabavian. ⚪ A senior IRIB official reportedly resigned. ⚪ Damage-control operations were launched across regime media. Think about what this means. If Nabavian is telling the truth, then either Iran’s negotiators ignored Khamenei’s directives, or powerful factions inside the regime are pursuing their own agenda. The biggest takeaway is that the Islamic Republic may be far less unified than it appears. Public accusations, resignations, censorship, and lawsuits are now erupting in the middle of sensitive negotiations with the United States. This is not the behavior of a regime confidently speaking with one voice. 🍿

🚨 Nothing shows the huge difference between Obama and Trump more clearly than this: Under Obama: IRGC seized U.S. sailors at gunpoint, humiliated them on camera - then got $1.7B in cash days later. Under Trump: U.S. forces seized Iranian ships, disabled them, boarded by force - and refuses to release assets without full surrender. One projects weakness and full capitulation, while the other projects strength and supremacy.

🚨 A heartbreaking encounter that became a hallmark of the Islamic Republic’s psychological cruelty: a leftist activist, his religious mother, and a regime that used her as a pawn. In 1981, Mahmoud Tarigholeslami, an Iranian left-wing political activist, was arrested during the Islamic Republic’s brutal purge of opposition groups. Like many leftists, he had opposed the Shah and helped create the revolutionary climate that brought the clerical regime to power. But once the Islamic Republic consolidated control, it turned on many of the same leftist revolutionaries who had helped overthrow the monarchy. Before his execution, the regime arranged what Mahmoud believed was a private final meeting with his mother. Crying and desperate, he pleaded with her, believing she had come to save his life. What he did not know was that the Islamic Republic had secretly installed cameras. His deeply religious mother had been deceived into believing that if she persuaded him to repent, his life would be spared. It was all a lie. Mahmoud Tarigholeslami was executed by firing squad shortly afterward. His mother later suffered a nervous breakdown. For more than four decades, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly aired this footage on state television to glorify ideological loyalty over family, intimidate political prisoners, and teach that devotion to the regime must come before one’s own child. It remains one of the clearest examples of how the Islamic Republic weaponized family, faith, and grief as instruments of propaganda and repression.

🚨 Two IRGC members were gunned down at a Nobaran checkpoint! A group calling itself the “Organization of Homeland Defenders” reportedly carried out the attack in Saveh last night targeting terrorist regime forces. Before opening fire, they declared: ‘My life is for Iran.’” You may see more Iranians resort to taking matters into their own hands against regime forces, as pressure builds and people feel they have nothing to lose.

Locals are speculating that air defense systems may be being targeted, as they are positioned near the sites of these explosions, including around Parchin, an Iranian military complex near Tehran.

🚨 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MINAB SCHOOL IS EXPOSED! The Islamic Republic converted a school in Minab into a barracks, where over 120 schoolchildren were killed as human shields. A brave citizen from Minab shared this video and photos after finally gaining internet access following 46 days of blackout. The regime built a guard tower and converted parts of Shajareh Tayyebeh School into a military position. An IRGC Navy guard tower stands in the middle of the school courtyard. Does this look like a place of education or a military barracks? The child-killing Islamic Republic regime is solely responsible for the slaughter of these children. Will undercover Islamic Republic supporters now condemn this brazen use of human shields?

My experiences at the stadium yesterday (I was tired from same-day long flight so I may have missed a few things.): • There were lots of Shir-o-Khorshid flags and shirts in the stadium, which was great to see. Despite the “ban”, it was nice to see so many on display. Freedom of speech matters in the USA. • Compared to Islamic Republic-friendly Qatar in 2022, the difference was noticeable. Back then, I saw with my own eyes that there were binders at the admission gates listing prohibited items, including Shir-o-Khorshid flags. The security there was hostile and scrutinizing every flag and article of clothing. This time, there were no such binders or checks beyond normal security screening. • The fans carrying Shir-o-Khorshid flags were supporting Team Melli throughout the match. From what I saw, they were there to support Iran and enjoy the game. • The Islamic Republic anthem was loudly booed throughout the stadium. • I didn’t witness any major arguments or confrontations, although I know videos of disputes are circulating online. I’m only speaking about what I personally saw inside and around the stadium. • The only issue I witnessed involved an older Islamic Republic supporter sitting in the row behind me causing a disturbance and getting what I believe was his grandson to go to security and complain about nearby fans with Shir-o-Khorshid flags, claiming the flags were banned. Security told him to relax and made it clear they were not going to remove anyone’s flag. • Ironically, a few minutes later, those same Islamic Republic supporters were told to leave because they were sitting in the wrong seats. 👏 • The woman sitting behind me, wearing a regular Iran shirt, was ecstatic when they left. She told me she felt their presence beside her and her two sons had been a bad omen and was relieved to see them go. • The atmosphere was electric from start to finish. SoFi Stadium is one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to and was an amazing place to watch a World Cup match. • Like what I saw in Qatar 2022, you can spot an Islamic Republic supporter from a mile away. Ugly to the bone. They always look mangled and angry (physiognomy is real in this case). A note - I encourage Iranian fans and Shir-o-Khorshid patriots to attend these matches and bring their flags. In my view, it’s a missed opportunity that some have chosen to boycott the national team when these events provide a chance to make their voices heard in front of the world. Boycotting only silences your own voice. It’s a self-inflicted loss of an opportunity to be seen and heard. Overall, it was a positive experience. Fans were there to support Team Melli. It was great to see so many Shir-o-Khorshid flags in the stadium and to see people expressing themselves freely without the issues we saw in Qatar. The result was disappointing, but the atmosphere and the passion of the Iranian fans made it a memorable.

🚨 After Reza Pahlavi activated the Immortal Guard to carry out strategic campaigns, a message from one of the youths involved: “We will fight for Iran to the last drop of blood.” Two Basij militia members were killed yesterday in Isfahan - not by UAV strikes, but by shotgun fire. Local reports say the incident happened after Basij forces entered a park and began inspecting people. An unidentified individual allegedly opened fire and fled. It is not known whether the attacker was connected to the Immortal Guard.

🚨 “Nowadays, people like me are ashamed to go out in military uniform.” An Iranian army soldier says that he and many other Iranian soldiers feel ashamed wearing the uniform of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces. The remarks come amid growing reports of deepening tensions and divisions between Iran’s regular army (Artesh) and the IRGC. Observers point to resentment over unequal funding, preferential treatment for IRGC personnel, poorer support and medical care for wounded Artesh soldiers, and increasing friction between the two forces. Longstanding institutional rivalries inside Iran’s military establishment appear to be intensifying under mounting political, economic, and regional pressures.

I'm going home too. It seems to me that the regime's work is finished and we should surrender. I just hope that the people don't take revenge on us."

🚨 The regime is using scantily clad influencers to whitewash its crimes. This is Parisa Fadavi. She lives in Germany, wears extremely revealing clothing while working out, and is another paid influencer for the Islamic Republic. She is seen here mourning the death of Ali Khamenei, one of the worst dictators in Middle Eastern history. The hypocrisy is glaring. She enjoys freedoms in Germany that the regime she promotes denies to women in Iran. If she dressed this way in Iran, she could be arrested and face far worse. Ironically, she previously posted a tribute related to the Islamic Republic’s January 2026 massacre of Iranians, in which more than 45,000 people were killed by the regime's repressive security forces. The regime’s efforts to recruit and financially incentivize influencers extend well beyond Iran, using diaspora figures who enjoy Western freedoms to promote the same system that denies those freedoms to Iranian women and whitewash the regime’s blood-soaked crimes.

The acting Chief of Staff of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces made the remark when reporters asked him about ongoing negotiations and reports of a possible agreement between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic.

🚨 "I am profiting off your (Iranians) pain!" President Trump was right - Kurdish groups in the region have been stealing Starlink terminals and weapons intended for Iranian protesters, then selling them for enormous profits on the black market. Ebrahim Oveysi, one of the commanders of PAK (Kurdistan Freedom Party), led by Hussein Yazdanpanah, is openly selling these same Starlinks on Instagram. In this voice message, he says he is selling “our Iranian share” and that each Starlink terminal costs $1,000. Clarissa Ward also reported that Iranian Kurdish militia members entered his dealership and purchased 50 Toyota Land Cruisers, highlighting the opaque and questionable financial networks behind these groups and where their funding originates. These Kurdish political groups, many of them separatist in nature, have increasingly operated like profiteers, smugglers, and predatory militias feeding off instability, conflict, and chaos. Over 45,000 unarmed Iranians were killed by this regime, and these weapons could have helped them better level the playing field against a heavily armed state.

It is not yet clear whether the members are from the IRGC or the army, but in the video they swear loyalty to Reza Pahlavi while concealing their identities to avoid arrest.

🚨 The IRGC is struggling to feed and pay its own forces, as personnel openly complain on camera. In this video, an officer complains about being served little more than potatoes and pickles while also saying salaries are not being paid. This comes as the Islamic Republic faces mounting economic pressure from mismanagement, corruption, war-related costs, and years of massive spending on proxy militias, regional operations, and security networks across the Middle East. Despite the regime’s public messaging, moments like this are important indicators of growing internal financial strain and worsening liquidity problems under the U.S.-led naval blockade and broader economic pressure campaign.

An Islamic Republic state TV host openly said that even if the United States occupied southern Iran, “the world would not end.” The regime is now conditioning the Iranian public to accept the possibility of a U.S. ground invasion and foreign troops on Iranian soil. It also exposes the hollowness of decades of propaganda claiming the Islamic Republic is indispensable to Iran’s security. A regime that openly entertains the occupation of its own territory has no credibility when it claims to be the guardian of Iran’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, or national interests.

This is the Islamic Republic's idea of strength against the United States and President Trump: throwing rocks at his image. These idol worshippers have the mentality of medieval pagans, convinced that throwing rocks at an image somehow injures the person it represents. Pathetic.

State TV has denied that IRGC Brigadier General Ali Azmaei was killed in tonight’s strikes. But such denials are far from definitive. The same state media previously claimed President Raisi’s helicopter had safely landed in Tabriz and that the presidential convoy was returning by land - before his death was later confirmed. Narrative control, contradictory reporting, and disinformation have long been part of how the Islamic Republic manages sensitive military and political crises. [شبنامه]

"We knocked the USA to the ground and had our foot on its chest, ready to finish the job. Then suddenly we went to the negotiating table, seeking a deal so that the USA could come and put its foot on our chest." — Nabavian, Member of Parliament This quote gets to the heart of the problem. A large segment of the Islamic Republic's supporters believe they already defeated the USA. They believe the USA failed to stop Iran's nuclear program, failed to force regime change, and failed to break the regime through sanctions and pressure. From that perspective, negotiating with the USA is not a victory. It is surrender. This is why the proposed MOU faces serious internal resistance and why any deal could still collapse. The Islamic Republic is not a normal state driven solely by strategic interests. At its core, it is a revolutionary movement shaped by ideological and often apocalyptic beliefs, with hostility toward the USA embedded in its identity. For many of its most loyal supporters, compromise with the USA is not diplomacy. It is betrayal.

🚨 Iranians are forming armed groups to defend their communities and fight against the Islamic Republic. The newly formed Qom Military Group, composed of families linked to the Javid-Naman-e Lor group, former political prisoners, and activists from Lor and Bakhtiari regions, has declared its support for the Lion and Sun Revolution. The group says it is organizing to defend Iranians following the Islamic Republic’s massacre of more than 45,000 defenseless protesters in January. It announced its formation on July 13, coinciding with the anniversary of the Bakhtiari conquest of Tehran, and vowed to stand against what it called the Islamic Republic’s “satanic regime.”

🚨 Ghalibaf is openly letting everyone know he is the man in charge. The more he speaks, the more it sounds like we’re witnessing a series of Freudian slips from a man who already sees himself as Iran’s real decision-maker. Listen to how many times he says “I.” Not “the government,” not “the system,” not “we” - just “I.” “I will decide.” At one point he effectively tells others to help formulate policy while he makes the final decisions. For a man who is supposedly just the Speaker of Parliament, he sounds remarkably comfortable speaking as the country’s ultimate authority. This is the same Ghalibaf who has been empowered and legitimized by Trump and his allies through negotiations that have elevated him from a regime insider to a central figure in Iran’s future. The more he talks, the more it appears that Ghalibaf—not the elusive Mojtaba Khamenei or the clerics—is consolidating power behind the scenes. The question is no longer whether there is a power struggle, but whether Ghalibaf has already won it.

The more he speaks, the more it sounds like we’re witnessing a series of Freudian slips from a man who already sees himself as Iran’s real decision-maker. Listen to how many times he says “I.” Not “the government,” not “the system,” not “we” - just “I.” “I will decide.” At one point he effectively tells others to help formulate policy while he makes the final decisions. For a man who is supposedly just the Speaker of Parliament, he sounds remarkably comfortable speaking as the country’s ultimate authority. This is the same Ghalibaf who has been empowered and legitimized by Trump and his allies through negotiations that have elevated him from a regime insider to a central figure in Iran’s future. The more he talks, the more it appears that Ghalibaf—not the elusive Mojtaba Khamenei or the clerics—is consolidating power behind the scenes. The question is no longer whether there is a power struggle, but whether Ghalibaf has already won it.

🚨 We are now seeing some of the devastating ecological consequences of the Islamic Republic’s deliberate oil dumping in the Persian Gulf. Here, marine animals can be seen dead after exposure to the massive oil contamination. The Shia Republic only brings havoc, destruction, and instability wherever it goes - in Iran and beyond.

🚨 A Shia terrorist from England says he is going to fight for the Islamic Republic. He is from Leeds and openly says he is going to Iran to fight for the IRGC, even brazenly showing his UK passport. This is a serious security concern and he should be barred from re-entering the country, Keir Starmer.

“Negotiating with Trump will not lift sanctions and will only humiliate the Iranian nation.” - Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, March 2025 Just over a year later, Ghalibaf is among the leading advocates for negotiations and the proposed MOU with the United States. The irony is impossible to miss. Trump hasn’t changed, and neither has the United States. What changed is the Islamic Republic’s collapsing economy. The same officials who once denounced negotiations as humiliation are now pursuing them because the regime’s economic situation has become increasingly unsustainable. Corruption, isolation, and economic mismanagement have left the regime with fewer options. This is precisely why the United States should maintain maximum economic pressure rather than throw the regime a lifeline. The sudden shift in rhetoric is not a sign of moderation. It is a sign of weakness. When survival is at stake, revolutionary slogans suddenly become far more flexible.

🚨 Iraqi Shia militia Hashd al-Shaabi presence dominating the streets of Iran With heavy weapons and free rein, these Shia forces are no different from ISIS in brutality, vileness, and savagery. Letting foreign forces patrol Iranian streets marks one of the biggest betrayals in Iran’s history.

🚨 The armed resistance group that gunned down two IRGC forces releases a message! The Homeland Defenders Organization, which shot and killed 2 regime officers at a checkpoint near Qom, dedicated the operation to two young protesters murdered by the regime: Nika Shakarami and Pezhman Gholipour. This pro-Iran, anti-regime outfit did not indicate whether more operations are coming, but appears organized.

🚨 Tehran’s police chief just exposed the truth - it was the regime, not foreign agents, that massacred protesters. For months, the regime and its Western apologists blamed the January massacre on “Mossad/CIA agents.” Now Ahmad Reza Radan himself calls it a “second war” and an “urban war” against Iranians and admits pride in it. This wasn’t foreign interference. It was the Islamic Republic regime waging war on its own people where over 45,000 unarmed Iranian protestors were massacred. Lies don’t stay hidden forever.

🚨 Iraq has sent another convoy of militias into Iran under the cover of humanitarian aid This is not mercy or aid, but a Trojan horse. In addition to regular militia-linked convoys making free and unhindered cross-border trips, the regime is now smuggling in thousands of Hashd al-Shaabi fighters disguised as medical teams. These Iranian-backed Shia militias, known as the PMF, are the same forces who played a role in brutal crackdowns on Iranian protesters that killed over 45,000. With no meaningful border control or vetting, the Islamic Republic has deliberately allowed them in and is counting on them as another uprising begins to take shape. In the Islamic Republic, ambulances have been used to transport security forces and detain protesters, while hospitals have been stormed to target the wounded. The regime is preparing for a violent crackdown on its own people. The world must wake up and support the Iranian people before it is too late.

🚨 A fierce internal rift is erupting among Islamic Republic supporters over the ceasefire. Many are openly calling negotiations and a ceasefire “treacherous” and “humiliation,” arguing the regime must confront Israel and the U.S. rather than compromise. This rhetoric frames them as permanent enemies, rejecting any agreement outright. What’s emerging is not unity or “victory,” despite propaganda efforts, but deep division and instability within the regime’s own base.

🚨 The Islamic Republic exposed its own lie on state TV, this time around the Minab elementary school bombing. An IRGC officer who was at the scene went on air and described what happened that day. He says they witnessed a number of drones heading toward the school, and he specifically refers to them as drones. He then describes how they first tried to shoot them down with small arms. After failing, they went to get a DShK 12.7mm heavy machine gun, set it up, engaged the targets, hit them, and brought them down. The problem with his account is that it directly contradicts the regime’s narrative of a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile strike. That does not match the physics or timing. A Tomahawk travels at roughly 900 to 950 km/h, about 250 meters per second, often at low altitude. From the moment it is seen or heard, impact follows within seconds. You do not have time to: • Recognize the threat • Stop a vehicle • Exit, coordinate, and aim • Retrieve a heavy weapon • Set up a tripod-mounted DShK • Then open fire That sequence takes minutes, not seconds. There is another issue. You do not take down a high-speed cruise missile with small arms or even a DShK. These systems are not designed to intercept fast, low-flying cruise missiles. By the time you engage, the missile has already reached its target. The scenario described only makes sense against a slower, trackable aerial platform, such as a drone. You cannot reconcile both claims. Either it was a high-speed cruise missile with almost no reaction window, or it was something that allowed time to react and engage, like a drone as the IRGC officer described. The timeline described makes one of those impossible. The Minab story has been central to the war’s narrative, as the regime used it to generate international sympathy and condemnation while attempting to frame the U.S. as responsible. At the same time, eyewitness accounts have claimed the IRGC had placed watchtowers and military assets in and around the school.

🔴 A taste of their own medicine. Remember when IRGC thugs fired on mourners for slain Iranian protesters, denying families the peace to bury their youth? Now they cannot bury their own in peace. A strike near the funeral of eight Basij members from the Khavaran checkpoint sent mourners scrambling and fleeing.
